2009

So here we are.... 2009, I wonder what it will bring? The country is the depth of depression and according to the newspapers and TV there is worse to come - is the end nigh? Unemployment is sky high, people can't afford to eat let alone heat their homes and it really is doom and gloom but on the whole we are lucky in this country, most people have food, they have a home, they are not in the middle of a civil war, they are not being suppressed - we need to count our blessings.

And as for the NHS my brother in law has just had a double heart by pass (in his 40's), he has been treated brilliantly and he is on his way home today, having had his operation Thursday afternoon last week - where else can you get free treatment like that.
